Accepted Answer

To see when the school will be closed, please visit our Holiday Schedule.

Question 12

Are classes ever suspended outside of holidays? What happens to my enrollment if a class is suspended?

Accepted Answer

There are rare unforeseen times when we will have to suspend a regularly scheduled class (teacher emergency, global classroom software outage, etc.) We will notify you as soon as possible about the class suspension, and the missed class will not count towards your enrollment.
Your enrollment is for consecutively scheduled classes, not necessarily weeks. For example, if you signed up for 6 weeks but one class was suspended due to a holiday and another because your teacher had an emergency, you 6-week enrollment will be covered in 8 weeks.
